One of the major benefits of owning an iPhone is the ability to check several email inboxes at once using the mail application. However, the iPhone only allows for supported video formats to be viewed in an email (i.e. QuickTime, M4R). Well, thanks to an interesting work around, I am now able to actually enjoy viewing videos that I receive in my email once again! The following is all about how to open emailed video attachments on iPhone.
To save video Attachment on iPhone, two ways are available. Both ways work equally well. However,method two is more time-consuming than method one which encodes video faster and convert videos to iPhone at one go.
Method One: adopt Mac iPhone Video Converter for help
iPhone Video Converter for Mac is professional yet easy-to-use software, offering optimized presets for iPhone, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and more. So you can just select the output format according to the model of iPhone you have. I prefer this method over the other because it converts video files faster and supports batch conversion.

Step 1: Load emailed video attachment to the program
Drag & drop video attachment files to the iPhone Video Converter for Mac (OS X Mountain Lion included). Or you can click “Add Files”. The Mac iPhone Video Converter supports batch conversion, so you can add several files at one time.
Step 2: Select the output format
You can go to the “Output Format” drop-down list, choose iPhone as the output format. The default optimized settings make the output videos look great on iPhone screen.
Step 3: Start to save the emailed video attachment
Hit the “Start” button and let this smart Mac iPhone Video Converter do the rest for you!
Method Two: Video the emailed video attachment with iOS 6 on iPhone
In the previous versions of iOS though you could save pictures you were missing the “video” saving ability but in iOS 6 you are able to save any videos from a text or email message you received on your iPod, iPad or the iPhone. Now, just like with pictures, all you have to do to save a video is:
1. Open the email, messages, etc. that you received the movie in
2. Tap on the icon or preview and hold on it
3. When the Save Video button pops up, Tap it!
That’s it. The video will now be saved to your Camera Roll for you to use as you so wish.

I just got a new iPod Touch the other day. I’m able to send/receive email messages and view attachments in received messages. However, I see no way to attach documents, say photos or videos I take on the iPod, to an outgoing email message. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
I enjoy, cause I discovered just what I used to be taking a look for.
copy the entire email message and start a new email and paste that stuff in it?
If you want the better carmea, with 8 megapixels and 1080p full hd recording, a faster processor, and Siri. Then go with the 4s. If you dont care about the little extra added speed (iPhone 4 is obviously already fast), and are fine with 5 megapixels and 720p..get the iPhone 4. You can get a 8gig iPhone 4 for 100 with contract. So if you want to spend the extra 100, or 50 (for 16gig model) Get the 4s. The speed in apps and games will help.
First, I realize that the option to add an attachment to an email reply is not officially supported, but I’m hoping there’s clever way to do it.
Viewing wmv attachments in iPhone email
Do you have any video of that? I’d care to find out more details.
I wish it were the case for me. Living in the Seattle area, I get lots of WMV files via e-mail from friends and co-workers.
i tried tapping and holding on the video as you would an image, but that doesn’t seem to work. is there a way to do this?
I think Apple deliberately trying to prevent using non-Apple type formats with their devices. The cold war between computer giants lives on!
I get emails with .wmv files attached. At home on my PowerBook, I can view them using Windows Media Player. On my iPhone, nothing.
But the only thing is that your iPhone should make use of the iOS6 operating system.
One thing Apple didn’t consider was how to save emaill that you receive.
Nice tips, thanks for shaing.
Great! It only supports QuickTime video right?
I had an attachment sent the other day I think
it may have had a .wmv (but not sure) attachment with it and I couldn’t open
it.
iOS will automatically add your pictures into your mail body.
I think this is the same with video, haven’t tried it yet.
Go to your photo. Copy the photo and then go to your email reply and in the body paste the photo.
1.Open the email, messages, etc. that you received the video.
2.Tap on the icon or preview and hold on it.
3.When the Save Video button pops up, Tap it!
You can put your finger on the photo preview and hold it. A save photo option should then pop up
